Archaiel (Arr-KAI-el)

The Radiant Sentinel

Archaiel is a member of the Elari, a group of divine beings formed by the Creator at the dawn of time to act as stewards over the fundamental forces of Creation. As the Elari of Light, Archaiel is the most active of her fellows in enforcing the Creators laws upon the entirety of Creation, and defending it against whatever forces may threaten it, and is responsible for creating the Celestials to aid her in this purpose. Among the mortal races of Taeva (particularly the numerous Human kingdoms), Archaiel is revered as the embodiment of order, justice, and valor.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Archaiel has a tall, lean, humanoid body completely covered in armour.

Body Features

Archaiel is completely covered in an ornate suit of armour made from gold and white metal, with many believing that her body underneath the armour is made entirely out of light.

Facial Features

Like the rest of her body, Archaiels head is covered by an ornate helmet with a face mask made of white metal with gold accents. The mask is featureless, save for a pair of glowing white eye holes that shift in expression in a similar manner to a flesh-and-blood face. Additionally, long streams of white light emerge from the back of the helmet in a manner similar to hair, and despite being completely covered, the shape of her mask gives Archaiels face a sharp featured appearance.

Identifying Characteristics

Besides her armoured body, Archaiel is identified by the large pair of wings extending from her back (consisting of metalic "frames" with "feathers" made of pure light), as well as the sunburst halo floating behind her head (which appears to be made of solid white light, and is constantly rotating in a slow, clockwise direction).

Special abilities

As the Elari of light, Archaiel has a number of powerful light based abilities, including the ability to fire beams of light, generate weapons and other constructs of hard light, shield and/or heal themselves and their allies, and summoning Celestials to their location. Due to their divine nature, these abilities aren't limited by Aether like mortal mages, allowing her to use them as frequently as she wishes.

Apparel & Accessories

Archaiel's always seen wearing a suit of sleek, ornate armour made of a white metal with gold accenting. Given how form-fitting the armour appears to be, it's believed by some that this armour is the equivalent of skin for her.

Specialized Equipment

Archaiel possesses a large, ornately designed kite shield, as well as a longsword made from a mix of the same metal as her armour and light, though she can change it into whatever weapon she feels is most suitable for the current situation.

Mental characteristics

Morality & Philosophy

As the Elari of Light, Archaiel strongly believes in the importance of maintaining order and justice, as well as defending the innocent from those who would seek to do them harm.

Taboos

As a being of order, Archaiel is strongly opposed to chaos (particularly if it's overall detrimental in nature), as well as any actions that can be deemed evil.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Archaiel is motivated by her nature as a being of order to protect Creation against any forces that seek to cause disorder within it, and to oppose evil and injustice in whatever form it may take.

Social

Speech

Archaiel speaks with an authorative, echoing voice.
